currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject

control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted
on or before July 12, 2004. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period
of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed

301, 308, 309 and 310. This collection is also used by the Commission
staff in carrying out its duties under the World Trade Organization
(WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement. The information collection requirements
accounted for in this collection are necessary to determine the
technical and legal qualifications of applicants or licensees to

necessity. Without such information, the Commission could not determine
whether to permit respondents to provide telecommunication services in

statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to WTO Basic
